An important and early work, the Genoa desk examines the notion of implied movement, layering and juxtaposition.
By manipulating the movement of the forms, this work examines the relationship of surfaces, promoting a gut response to the juxtaposition of dynamic elemental forms; creating a static moment of suspended action, frozen from a manual of folds.
It is constructed using welded and folded steel with a hand-applied patina finish, veneer wood and leather, and a pivoting drawer in leather and nickel-plated steel.
Phillip Michael Wolfson's Genoa desk (designed 1991, executed 2007), numbered 3 from an edition of 4 will be auctioned off at the Phillips de Pury Design Auction June 3rd, 09.
Proceeds from the sale of this lot(#73) will be donated to the MAKE IT RIGHT FOUNDATION, NEW ORLEANS.
